A Good First Year and An Award

A Good First Year and An Award Beginning our second year of publishing Mind, Brain, and Education (MBE) , we are thankful for the response the journal has received from many quarters. We are especially pleased to announce that MBE has been chosen as the Best New Journal in Social Sciences and Humanities by the Association of American Publishers (Professional and Scholarly Publishing Division). The Association selects distinguished works from a wide range of disciplines to recognize publishers, authors, and editors who contribute pioneering works of research and scholarship. The symbol for the award appears on the journal’s cover. The award ceremony took place in Washington, D.C., on February 7, 2007, with journal editor Kurt Fischer and Wiley‐Blackwell editor Margaret Zusky receiving the award from the Association. This award results from the vision and hard work of many people over a long period of time. As editors, we want to thank the authors, associate editors, reviewers, special‐issue editors, subscribers, and the people at Wiley‐Blackwell who have helped make this journal a resource for scientists and practitioners alike. We greatly appreciate the award and believe that it reflects the emergence of a dynamic and integrative field of study that will benefit both educational practice and scientific inquiry. In our efforts to publish an interdisciplinary journal that bridges the variety of disciplines addressing biology, cognition, development, and education, we have been fortunate to have published groundbreaking articles by an impressive and diverse list of contributors from all over the world. Because of these dynamic submissions, the outstanding support of the people at Wiley‐Blackwell, and the hard work of our reviewers, MBE content has been of high quality – well grounded in both research and practice, building on classic work and breaking new ground. Papers in the journal have been mentioned by Newsweek , The Chronicle of Higher Education , Medical News Today , and United Press International , among others. The International Mind, Brain, and Education Society has also seen dynamic international growth and marked its first international conference in November 2007 in Fort Worth, Texas. Clearly the potential impact of this journal and of the emerging field of Mind, Brain, and Education more broadly is just beginning to be realized. We are grateful for the broad support that many of you have provided in our inaugural year, and we plan to continue to build a high quality journal that is empirically sound, theoretically relevant, and practically useful. We strongly encourage you to share the journal’s content with colleagues and to develop effective collaborations that address the wide range of issues and contexts that contribute to learning and development in educational settings. Through such work our community of educators and scientists will build a strong research base for education and improve the quality of learning and development for all human beings. Thank you all for such a wonderful first year. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Mind, Brain, and Education Wiley

Abstract

Beginning our second year of publishing Mind, Brain, and Education (MBE) , we are thankful for the response the journal has received from many quarters. We are especially pleased to announce that MBE has been chosen as the Best New Journal in Social Sciences and Humanities by the Association of American Publishers (Professional and Scholarly Publishing Division). The Association selects distinguished works from a wide range of disciplines to recognize publishers, authors, and editors who contribute pioneering works of research and scholarship. The symbol for the award appears on the journal’s cover. The award ceremony took place in Washington, D.C., on February 7, 2007, with journal editor Kurt Fischer and Wiley‐Blackwell editor Margaret Zusky receiving the award from the Association. This award results from the vision and hard work of many people over a long period of time. As editors, we want to thank the authors, associate editors, reviewers, special‐issue editors, subscribers, and the people at Wiley‐Blackwell who have helped make this journal a resource for scientists and practitioners alike. We greatly appreciate the award and believe that it reflects the emergence of a dynamic and integrative field of study that will benefit both educational practice and scientific inquiry. In our efforts to publish an interdisciplinary journal that bridges the variety of disciplines addressing biology, cognition, development, and education, we have been fortunate to have published groundbreaking articles by an impressive and diverse list of contributors from all over the world.
